Orange County

There were 38 confirmed cases of Legionella reported between Nov. 1 and Dec. 6, according to a state database. That's a large spike compared to what is observed typically at this time of the year.

A Crunch Fitness facility in Ocoee says that it tested negative for the bacteria that cause Legionnaires' disease.

The confirmed cases grew by 13 in the final week of November in Orange County, totaling 25 for the month. At least 14 of the confirmed cases were due to "gym exposure."

The former Orlando police chief and Orange County sheriff issued a statement that focused on a need to make Florida more affordable.

The district lost 7,000 students this year alone in part due to the state's school voucher program.

Following the accusation by Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia that the county was overtaxing residents, Mayor Jerry Demings called the CFO's math "fuzzy."

Blaise Ingoglia said it "has something to hide." Mayor Jerry Demings pushed back, saying the county cooperated fully and no employees were told to alter, change or delete documents.

Commissioners Kelly Martinez Semrad and Nicole Wilson voted against the addendum to the county agreement with ICE. Mayor Jerry Demings hinted that a legal fight is on the horizon.

Blaise Ingoglia spoke in Orlando Tuesday as Florida DOGE staffers visited county offices.

Attorney General James Uthmeier threatened office removal if Mayor Jerry Demings and the county commission didn't permit corrections officers to transport detainees to ICE detention centers.

The statement comes after Florida's Attorney General demanded that the county help transport ICE detainees to detention facilities.
